7 How Coffee Protects Your Heart (1 slide)

8 Coffee is good for the heart Researchers have already linked coffee consumption to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease Now they know more about WHY coffee is healthy In an animal study, they found that caffeine from coffee increased the movement of a protein called p27 into the mitochondria (the cell s power generators) p27 helps repair heart muscle and protect against heart damage even in obese, elderly, and diabetic mice Versus control mice, the mice who received additional caffeine Had nearly double the p27 levels Saw a 26% reduction in heart damage after a heart attack The dosage was equivalent to 4 cups of caffeinated coffee daily

9 Women need more strength training! (1 slide)

10 Women need to increase their fitness Ten years ago, the Centers for Disease Control set new standards for exercise Results: overall, less than 1 in 4 Americans get the recommended amounts of exercise: muscle strengthening exercise 2 times a week, and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise daily However, results for men and women are different in general, men are more active 50% of women get aerobic exercise, but only 20% do strength training versus 56% of men getting aerobic exercise and 30% doing strength training Researchers note that historically, women haven t been encouraged to be physically active, and in fact the sports bra wasn t invented until 1977

11 Another reason for strength training: weight loss Strength training is superior to running for fitness and weight loss Strength training helps prevent muscle loss when losing weight no flabby and saggy! You will become lighter from running but you will have a higher fat to lean muscle ratio - so you will weigh less but actually be fatter! Almost everyone who loses weight will eventually regain the fat but never regain the muscle. So those who are on the yoyo dieting nightmare over time will just get heavier.
